BMW hit-and-run: Mihir Shah changed his look to evade arrest, police tell court

MUMBAI: Mihir Shah, prime accused in the BMW hit-and-run case, changed his appearance to evade arrest, the prosecution on Wednesday told a court here which remanded him in police custody till July 16.

Shah, the son of Shiv Sena leader Rajesh Shah, had committed a "cruel heartless crime", and they wanted to probe who helped him when he was on the run for more than two days after the early Sunday morning accident, police told the court.

Mihir, 24, was arrested on Tuesday from Virar near Mumbai, two days after he allegedly rammed his BMW car into a two-wheeler in Mumbai's Worli area, killing Kaveri Nakhwa (45) who was riding pillion with her husband Pradeep Nakhwa. According to police, Kaveri was dragged for 1.5 km before the accused stopped the car.
